Melody of you
How long I have waited for you
To see the shape of your smile
And hear the song of your laughter
You were Venus and Aphrodite at their best
Radiating light and warmth
Your light did not discriminate
Poor and rich were welcome to it
To bathe and bask in a higher beauty
Alas
What has happened since this precious time
But the souring of your melody
All are left in darkness
They needed you
I needed you
And in your absence is a void
Which none can fill
No song can fill my heart
Like the melody of you
